Written by Gabrielle Savoie,Savvy Home is a design blog and online decor destination providing inspiration, shopping and decor services to other avid decorators. The Savvy Home style is influenced by a love for the coastal lifestyle, mixed with the tradition and comfort of American design.

I’m in a weird mood these days where it’s definitely still winter outside (I witnessed quite the snowstorm from my window yesterday), but my brain keeps shifting to summer. Part of me wants to buy fur scarves and soft sweaters (blame it on NYFW)—but the other part of me wants to stock up on tunics and strappy sandals. You could say my current mood is about as contradictory as Gray Malin’s gorgeous new series taken at the Snow Polo Cup in St. Moritz. Now that would be an experience to put on your bucket list!

“Amy leans more toward the purist modernist side, Todd is a little more rustic countryside, so the store is the perfect marriage”

Chances are you’ve already heard about design-duo Amy Kehoe and Todd Nickey and their buzz-worthy LA decor shop Nickey Kehoe, but have you seen their Instagram? Their West Hollywood shop, just like their Insta account, is filled with everything from Indian batik textiles to Peruvian throws and French antiques. Anything goes in this decorator’s heaven.

The pair divide their time between their residential and commercial projects, and scour the world’s flea markets, from California to Italy, to collect the best antique and vintage finds for their shop. Their taste, which falls somewhere between modern and rustic, is reflected in their quintessentially Californian aesthetic. Until I make my way to LA to visit the shop in person, I will live vicariously through their colorful Instagram (or their One Kings Lane sale, which ends tonight)!

This week went by in a whirlwind. I’ve got so many projects in the works, I feel like I’m spreading myself a little thin (I know—I’m a jerk to keep you all in the dark, I will share more soon, promise)! To all the unanswered emails: answers are coming, I swear. This weekend, I feel like I need to lock myself in my apartment and not come out until my inbox is cleared. I’ll do that—maybe after tonight’s dinner, or tomorrow’s brunch, or tomorrow night’s birthday party… It will happen!

WEEKEND SHOPPING

Revisiting Minnie Mortimer’s Los Angeles home because it’s freezing cold in the Northeast and Southern California is looking pretty tempting right now.

You can take a girl out the east coast, but you can’t take the East Coast out of a girl. Fashion designer Minnie Mortimer might be a New York expat living in Los Angeles, but her California coastal home looks straight out of the Hamptons—except she can enjoy the glorious weather year round, which makes her a winner at life.

“Summer has always been my favorite time of year,” Mortimer says. “Being in the ocean is my all-time favorite, and the west coast has amazing sunsets. It’s a very pretty view from our sunroom.” She’s got it figured out.
